The anatomic characteristics and relations of the vitreous are difficult to ascertain because of its transparency and its perishable nature. Numerous studies have been made during the past century, the results of which are not uniform; in fact, the conclusions in some respects are rather contradictory and confusing. Best,⁷ who made an outstanding anatomic study nearly 50 years ago, was aware of a relation of the vitreous to retinal detachment, and his concept of the vitreous structure seems to be rather close to that which is presently held.
